1970s-1980s farmhouse kitchen style. None of the gingham and raffia, all of the iron and stone. I especially love the second plate with the cow parsley; silhouettes of trees and dried grasses are really getting to me lately- I can't shake the feeling and nor do I want to, there's something comforting in it that echoes my early childhood.

One more thing- a new discovery- Locationworks.com They have the most amazing online database of house available for filming, the rustic/ruined/abandoned locations are absolutely breath-taking.

I love looking at this site (and haven't finished exploring it by half) but I must admit I cannot drift around it for too long without my heart breaking at these gorgeous old houses going to wreck and ruin. I know they cost a king's ransom to heat (though a few solar panels on the roof would solve that!) and upkeep- I just hope whoever owns them is using the location fees to ensure that the house never actually crumbles, despite it looking so. That would be my perfect house.

Thanks for sharing the Etsy page....I absolutely love that kind of photography.

I've been reading your blog for a month or so, and wanted to thank you for all of the inspiring images you post; your design aesthetics touch a common thread that runs through my blood, as I appreciate so much the modern applications of vintage details of the past. I especially enjoyed the results of your recent fabric dying endeavors...your photos are absolutely beautiful!

Hey that's me!
